mended, even if menaced with a coup

General Won SchilIendorff's refusal to
state or discuss what the financial re-

cover the extra expenditures. On the
whole, the prospects are unfavorable to
the government. The voting in the

Drought, Disease and Death.

CHICAGO, Aug. PA special from
Hinton, W. Va, says: Information re-
ceiyed here from Mcdowell County is to
the effect that dreadful state of affairs
exists in that portion of the State and
Southwestern Virginia. The drought
has made the water very low, and q
peculiar disease, which has several times
previously followed this condition and
which is supposed to be the result of
minerals in the water, has broken out.
In the Dead Horse Cave neighborhood
there are over 100 cases with thirty
deaths. Not family has escaped.
Crops are neglected and farm work is at
standstill, it requiring the entire time
of every individual able to labor to care
for the sick and dead. 1t is estimated
that 200 people have died in Mcdowell
County alone the last four weeks from
the disease.

Darby: 2"We went West with the idea
that we would better our condition. i

Rock found that I would get only one
dollar day. I soon found that things
were much higher in Arkansas than in
South Carolina, and the folks much
meaner. The immigrant agent that:
made such rash promises to us didn't
keep his promises. We found that the
situation was gloomier than the one we.
left behind us. and I got some of my old:
friends together and induced them. to re- !
turn to their home in old South Caroli.s

hardships to which his party had been
subjected, and told about a disease which
had decimated their ranks. he is heart
ly sick of the West, and declares that for.
the remainder of his life he will be satis..
fed to dwell in South Carolina, where he.
was born and raised. Many others who.
went to Arkansas are anxious to get:
back, Darby says, but they haven't the
means. He believes that the exodus of
negroes westward will not again assume
large proportions.

Although President Cleveland mas tray-...
eled far less than most men who have.
reached his years, and have had his ex.3
perience in public affairs, he promises to.
make q good record as tourist before
this yesr is over. When he WIS elected
president he had never been further
West than Cleveland, Ohio, and the visit
to that city was. made when he was q:
young man. He had visited Washington
on business for day some ten years ago,
but be had never been in New England.
BE was not fond Of travel, and his buai:.
ness did not give him many opportunities
to do so had he so desired. But if his
present plans are consummated he will,
before Congress meets again, have visited
the Canadian boundary and the far
South; will have travelled the greater
part of the Mississippi valley from St.
Paul to st. Louis, and visited most ofthe
large cities of the west. S.
The president has noticed that it is
with expressions of commendation that
the press generally has commented on
the short trips he has already taken away
from Washington and that, his proposed
long trip this fall meets with general ap:
proval. No one of his predecessors ever
had such urgent and impressiyely deliy:
cred invitations from so mary communi:
ties as he, and these have brought out
the fact, which he has With no little
pleasure observed, that there will be no
disposition to criticise his trips as junk
eting tours. It is his intention, or hope,
to visit the Pacific slope next year.

man was found hanging from rafter in

Gwinnett County, Ga. The neighbors
said it was a case Of suicide, took the body
down, quietly buried it, and made no
inquiry as to the mans identity. Now
comes the news that the man was really
lynched; that he was suspected of being
a revenue informer, and wandering into
district where there we're four illicit
stills in operation, the moonshiners made
shors work of him.
